[Broadcast (open to everyone but Winn)]
At the risk for earning a reputation as a party planner, I have a thing for everyone to attend again. Don't worry, lots of other people are helping pull it together. It's going to be on New Year's Eve, but the real event is the countdown to Winn's birthday which is also on the first. It's going to be in a club we rented out for this in the red shift district. Starts around seven-ish. Ends when you pass out?

It's kind of a surprise maybe? At least the part where it's for his birthday. And if you don't know Winn but you still want to come that's fine too. You can trade a gift for Winn for a free drink at the bar. Otherwise, bring some money. Cake's on us though.

[Birthday/New Year's Party]
[The space is well decorated and so glittered you can probably tell Wrath was part of the team putting this together. Lots of Winn's friends came out to help whether it was getting decorations up, managing food, music, or chipping in to buy out the space and a drink for anyone bringing a gift. Not to mention drinks for the birthday boy all night.

There's a table for presents and another one with a spread of openly available food though the bar has appetizers you can buy too. There's a big cake at one end because of course there is and some punch that didn't start the night spiked at least. There's space for dancing and a karaoke machine set up on a small raised platform for those who want to try their hand at entertainment.

The night really kicks off when Winn walks in and instead of a balloon drop there's a fluffy blue stuffed bear drop. Feel free to take one of those home. There are a lot.

When midnight comes closer some people will file out to one of the observation areas to get a good view of the nebula for the big countdown. Bring your own person to kiss!

[winn]

Thank you.

[ it feels like extremely high praise from a woman like her. ]

[outstandingbalance]

Well, if there's anytime to enjoy your compliments, it's for your birthday.

[And he makes Kitty happy. That's really all anyone can ask for.]

[winn]

Nicely said. [ if he could smile any more than he already is without breaking his face, he would. ]

[outstandingbalance]

So would it be wrong to ask just how hold you are?

[Changing the subject, but only slightly.]

[winn]

It's a birthday, I think it's the obvious question. [ he shrugs. he does have his complicated emotions about his age, but most of them revolve around kitty's age and really she's more mature than he is most of the time. ] I'm 30.

[outstandingbalance]

A youthful thirty. [In a lot of ways. But she does mean it as a compliment.]

[winn]

I'll be a youthful 80.

[ he completely takes it as a compliment. he has no intention of aging with dignity, dignity is overrated and it's boring. he's plenty responsible when he needs to be, changing decades is no reason to not have all the fun in the world when he can. ]

[outstandingbalance]

In the circles I run with, you'd have some tough competition for that.

[These ninety eight year olds who look thirty. Not even fair.]

[winn]

Okay 1. Superpowers and comas don't count. 2. We're not talking physically unless you were in which case -- thank you. [ smile! but he's definitely not thinking about what he'll look like when he's 80 just. so much no. ]

[outstandingbalance]

It can always be both, can't it? In both cases. Kara reminds me she's older than she looks regularly.

[Natasha smiles and cocks her head slightly, playful.]

Mon El too, as a matter of fact. And Steve. If I have to hear it, so do you.
